“I have lived in Morocco and been traveling there since the 1970s. my lunch yesterday at Kasbah Moroccan Cafe was undoubtedly the best Moroccan food I have eaten in the US. The food was delicious and authentic. Portions were generous. While we had to eat outside due to Covid, we could see that the inside of the cafe was attractively done in Moroccan style. The owner was very friendly. My son-in-law is Moroccan and he loved the food as well. I unreservedly recommend this place and will make a point of eating there next time I visit Portland.“
“Don’t be fooled by the size of this little place, it packs a BIG punch of flavor and service. The owners checked in at different times to make sure the food was to our liking and our server was kind and quick. She even helped me figure out how to eat it authentically! My wife and I WILL be back!“

“Been trying to eat here for 5 years every time I have been in Portland visiting friends (we always end up somewhere else). FINALLY came with the intention to eat here and the food is fantastic. So glad it lived up to expectations I built up in my head. I gotta say, if Iraqi food is like this, it's my new favorite food.“
“Quick and easy for take out. Best was the chicken and beef shawarma, then chicken kebab, and least favorite was the kafta which is usually our favorite. I can see how we have grown to like it a particular way and this may be someone else’s tastes, as it was not bad in any way - still tender and properly made; just the flavor profile wasn’t to my liking.Garlic sauce is pretty runny and consistency off but still a decent flavor. Tahini standard, not a fan of the spicy mayo type sauce.Rice was solid, flavorful. Iraqi bread is quite good as well.Overall still a 5 still for this area, esp. if they work on the garlic sauce.Recommend and will be back.“
“When you order food from a restaurant you're putting your trust in the owner and the staff. With that being said I try to be picky about where I will eat. The owner here is very nice, very organized and very clean. The quality of the food is excellent and the taste of the food is also excellent. I deliver food during the day so I know every restaurant in town. I highly recommend that everyone try the food from this place. Also I almost forgot to add my wife likes baklava and always orders that everywhere that we go. She told me that the baklava from here is the best that she has ever had.“
“My boyfriend and I visited from FL and decided to eat here with my mom and her boyfriend. The food was AMAZING! We scarfed everything down very quickly and was so, so yummy! Along with the great food, came awesome customer service! BUT after a long day of flights and only having 2 hours of sleep, I accidentally left my purse under the table! Thankfully though, Noah found my purse after we had left and we came to get it the next day. I am so grateful that they found it, amazing luck we had. So I would definitely recommend eating here for a tasty lunch or dinner, they will take great care of you ��� Thank you!!!!“
“Of course, it is number one at the state level in the Iraqi bakery business. Thank you to the market owner, my friend Sajjad Abu Ali. He works hard with his family members and some employees to keep the business always successful. I have been a customer of theirs for more than 8 years. Thank you to everyone.“
“So disappointed... That I didn't know about this place sooner!! Last night my husband told me he had NEVER eaten a gyro. I knew I had to correct this immediately. So, I started looking for gyros near me. Now, since he's never tried one, I didn't want him to have a bad first experience that would put him off of them forever since I enjoy them so much. I chose this establishment based on very high google reviews (5 stars) and because it's so close to where we live (5 mins). This place has gone beyond expectations! The food is amazing! Perfect blend of delicious spices and ingredients. HUGE amount of food. It was so delicious that I scarfed it down so fast I got sauce up my nose. I'm so happy that we found this little gem. We will be eating here regularly from now on. Thank you, Gyro Grill Kabob!!! ❣️“
“I’ve been here dozens of times. The food is ALWAYS amazing. But today was over and above. I’m pregnant and nauseous all the time. My husband wanted a gyro and all I can eat these days is rice. I asked for a side of rice and explained why and they gave me a huge serving of rice for free. They gave me congratulations and were so kind about everything. Will come here always“
“Better than Chick Fil A. They give ALOT of high quality food. The price is fair for the amount and quality. I got full with just one slider and side of mac (the slider is pretty big). The workers were courteous and my food came out quick. 5 stars and Im coming back for more later “
“We have been going to Falafel Express since they were at their original location off 99. This is a small family owned business, Abu Muhammad and his family have been offering excellent authentic Palestinian cuisine since they first opened and probably the only one of its kind locally. My favorite dish by far is Chicken Shawarma whether as a chicken Arabi, wrap or plate form, it is special to the Gaza region, he prepares it from scratch and it is delicious, if you have time I would recommend his Kebabs they are excellent and made to orders so freshness is guaranteed, his prices are very reasonable for the generous portions he offers, their service is fast and offer great customer service. Highly recommended!“
“We went here today with our class of graduating 8th graders as a treat. I was impressed by the patience and helpfulness of the awesome staff as we got 13 kids and 2 adults food. As for the food, the chicken is never dry and it's perfectly fried and seasoned. We're Muslims, we know what we're talking about when we talk about spices ;). The fries were crispy and well spiced with the perfect level of salt. I like there's a nice crisp level to the fries, they aren't soggy but you're not afraid to chip your teeth. The pickles and sauce push it over the edge to greatness. Thank you Dave's for making our students' day!“

“What a gem. DarSalam turned a bad night into a great one! Was out with a group of friends for a birthday and when we arrived at the restaurant where we had a reservation…it was closed. No warning. So we walked to DarSalam and they were so nice and we waited for a table for about 15 minutes. Great middle eastern style menu. The mezzanine platter is so good. One of the best falafel in Portland. The tabouli is to die for. So fresh. The chicken kebob plate was delicious with rice and a side of chickpea stew. Service was friendly and helpful. What a great place. We will definitely be back. DarSalam helped make a night ruined by another restaurant down the street into a great night! Thank you!“
“This isn’t my first time to this Dave’s hot chicken spot, but it is my first review. I’ll say it’s def CARB city with how much bread you get with your food. We ordered the 2 slider combo with fries and an extra tender on the side to share. We got lucky and they gave us an extra tenders on top of the extra one I ordered, so that’s a WIN! Haha. The tenders were super crunchy and the meat was moist. We got mild Sammie’s and medium single tender. The spicy is definitely there and good enough. I give it a good 6 out 10 on the heat scale. The fries were just meh, but that’s normally my opinion about fries everywhere. It’s RARE fries get my attention or thumbs up, but I’ll always eat them because they are delicious! Haha. They gave me A TON of pickles but it still wasn’t enough because I love pickles.Customer service was basic and nothing to brag about, but HEY that’s still good customer service. I don’t expect a place like this to WOW me. Parking can be tight, but it is doable and depending on when and what time you go may make it easier or harder to park.“
“I’ve been here before and it’s been great. Tonight was a different story and I get that things don’t always go as planned but I just have some advice:I ordered a couple chicken slider meals and added a Mac n cheese on the side. Easy enough. 15 min go by and my order still hasn’t come out. I ask about it and they say they ran out of Mac n cheese but that it will be right out. I end up waiting more than 30min before getting my order. My advice is- let the customer know you’re out of something as soon as you realize. I wouldn’t have wasted 30min of my life for a small side of Mac n cheese if I knew you were out, which you could’ve informed me in the first 5min of my wait. The milkshake was replaced as the one they gave me after ordering had melted by the time I left, so thanks for doing that at least.“
“Amazing food, great atmosphere, happy people. Local & family owned. I went with my Mom after Hush Hush was recommended by her Surgeon. I am new to Mediterranean cuisine so ordered something that was not what I was expecting. But it was my mistake,so I was just going to buy a 2nd wrap but the owner insisted on giving it to me.He also took time to explain the dishes and even gave me samples.Not only was lunch great but I also got a wonderful presentation on the different dishes they offer. To top the delightful experience the owner wrapped up my mistaken order for my Mom to eat later.All the meals we saw looked amazing and my Gyro with Tziki was delicious!The prices are good and the portions are large.I will definitely dine here again and will recommend Hush Hush Cafe to all my friends and family!“
